Some of the notable changes in this release are:

 - file(DOWNLOAD now handles "https" URLs -- the pre-built binaries
available from Kitware link to OpenSSL
 - support for the latest available versions of Visual Studio (11 /
2012) and Xcode (4.3, 4.4, 4.5, developer previews)
 - uniform compiler "id" and version number variables available for
nearly all known compilers and platforms
 - new way to arrange exported targets that depend on other targets
into "export sets"
 - new generator expressions
 - generator expressions available in more contexts, namely in the
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS target properties
 - new target properties for PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY and PDB_NAME,
implemented for Visual Studio 7 and up
 - and, as always, various minor bug fixes

Following is the complete list of changes in this rc since the
previous rc. Please try this version of CMake on your projects and

candidate will become the final release for 2.8.10 by the end of

to be fixed.



Thanks!
